Root [Boost Mobile] Roms?

For you guys running MOAR I'd really suggest giving the DKP kernel a try. Pair it with freelunch governor

Look at the date that MOAR was last updated.. 6/17 I believe. If your using the built in kernel options your missing any kernel progress that's been made in the past 3+ months.

I mentioned ktoonz issues with reporting correct CPU values in the past, and I'm really not sure if that 3+ month old kernel is a fixed one or not

Yeah, I haven't seen a Boost S3 user post that any of those ROMs are fully functional yet. That's the only reason I haven't added them to the thread. I need to know that we have data (3g/4g/or both), SMS, MMS,etc.

If you test Carbon and get it fully functional, please do me a favor and let me know the exact steps you took to get it working.

Thanks bro. I appreciate it. ;)

Rompnit just released the newest version of MOAR. I just flashed and am setting it up now. A lot of the Morphology settings have been added to the actual phone settings. So far it's looking nice and running great. :D

AWESOME!! I remember Capn069 saying that he had to flash the piggyback zip to get 4g working. Hopefully the MMS fix will carry over like it is doing with the TW ROMs.

Just let me know. If all goes well I'll get added it to the ROMs thread tomorrow. I'm headed to the coast to do some pier fishing in the morning. If all goes well, and I hope it does, I'll get it added the 1st chance I get. :D

What baseband/radio do you have? It looks like it failed the check on that.

That was also a 4.2.2 ROM. The nightlies are 4.3
 
ok... i just flashed my stock modem back... tried to clash carbon again, no go...
so i edited the carbon nightly zip removed the check for basband, copied to sdcard, and bam it took.... every thing flashed well it seemed, but been stuck on the carbon boot screen for some time now... pulled battery, formmated data, cache, dalvik, duh!!!
and now its booted :)

yup that worked...
i sent my self a pic, and it just says "sending..."
however i do have horrible service at my house...

so so far all seems well, at the moment i cannot verify 4g or mms, i need to leave my house, to give a true negative report.
 
welp just went for a drive...
wifi works
mms works, i dont know if it did need the mms fix or not.
4G is a no go... got to figure that one out, maybe a setting (there are lots of network settings)
